link to product
The ingredients listed on the bottle are: purified water, high-oleic safflower oil, cetearyl glucoside (coconut), arachidyl and behenyl alcohol (coconut), sea algae extract, squalane (olives), vegetable glycerin, shea butter, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, vitamins a.c.e, lemon oil, capryloyl glycine (coconut), undecylenoyl glycine (coconut), japanese honeysuckle extract (preservative).
This product also claims it's made with certified organic ingredients, has no animal testing and has a 12 month shelf life (after opening i'm assuming). They also claim this is for combination to oily and blemish prone skin.
I recently tried this over the summer since my favourite DDF organic sunblock is no longer made. The main things I look for in sun protection is that the cream has to be light, non-greasy, and has no tint (white tint nor colour).
I do not actively go out in the sun nor stay outdoors very long, so I only needed a very light sunblock to protect me (walking from my car to a store for example).
The lemon smell is refreshing and the lotion goes on very light and easily absorbs into the skin with no greasy residue afterwards. My skin also was not tinted with a white residue nor did I have to rub the lotion in to blend the colour to my skin. The lemon smell is not strong does not linger around so there is no need to worry about the interference of the smell to your perfume.
I was wary of the use of lemon oil in a sunblock, but then I realized this product is more of a facial moisturizer with sunblock properties rather than a true sunblock. This works quite well for me as I only needed something very light for daily use. However, I would probably not use this product if I were to stay outside in the sun for extended periods of time.
Overall, I think this is a great product that fits my needs and I would definitely buy it again. |

| Thank you joyuii. There are good comments about this and very interested in this too. But, it says light and I am afraid it will not be moisturizing enough. By the way, do you use it in winter time or only summer time? |

| Easily absorbed by my skin but I find it too light for mature skin. |

Cheryl_C, Thank you for the reminder that it might be not hydrating enough for mature skin.
I want to try it, but I have mature skin. |
